Format DBR in Access

FP 2002 and Access 2002

I have sections in a website that display memo fields from a DB record
-others can input to the records using the DB interface and their input shows
up in various sections of the website. The input is to memo fields.

I know I can format the memo field display through FP - but my question is:
is there a way to format the text within the memo field itself? Can I embed
html code or something like that in the memo field within access to have the
text display differently word by word from within the same field?

In other words, currently a user inputs text via the db interface and that
text shows up in the website as I've formatted that DBR area to look (all
text within that field being displayed will have the same formatting
attributes). I want the ability to vary the formatting of the text all
within the same field so that I can have some words BOLD or some words form a
bullet list....

Any suggestions? Is this possible?

Yes, you can insert HTML tags, such as <b></b>, etc.

Thank you for the help! I had tried this before writing to this forum for
assistance - and just tried it again but I am doing something wrong. I get
the html code displayed along with the text - is there some additional code
or setting within the website I need in addition to just striaght HTML such
as <b>This is Bold</b>???

In Design View, right-click on the field, choose properties and check the
box that says: The column contains HTML.
